The North Carolina State University, Athletics, Women's Basketball Audiovisual Materials collection contains primarily moving image recordings of North Carolina State University Women's Baketball games. These recordings were captured by the Department of Athletics for coaching and review purposes. Also included in this collection are recordings of team practices, recruiting films, highlight reels, and the Kay Yow Show. Materials range in date from 1974 to 2002, and some recordings are undated.

Recordings are arranged chronologically by season, and alphabetically within each season by opponent. Some seasons have general footage (not from a specific game or opponent); these recordings can be found listed after all of the game footage from that season. Recordings that could not be identified by date or opponent are found at the end of the list.
